Really appreciate the thorough review and your well-organized thoughts and humor! I’m with you about price, that feels pretty expensive for what it is relative to other boards that are currently available, though with two extra F-keys, at least it’s a unique layout. Also given that other boards are available with VIA compatibility and wireless connectivity, I’m really pained by this not being more widespread. Here’s to hoping we see less and less proprietary software.
Yes, people really do use the RGB and for some of us it's a must in a board. I am auDHD and one of my stims is visual. When I'm working and in a meeting, I can stim while in a meeting just by looking at my board. You can turn it off, but if the board doesn't come with it, I can't add it...
Thank you so much for the insight, and excuse my ignorance for not knowing. This is incredibly helpful to know and going forward, I will at least point out RGB features a bit more detailed. I am sorry and thank you again.
That's a gorgeuous board with an amazing (to me) sound profile but that price....hooboy. Anyway, another great vid - thank you! (and kudos for the Adam Driver bits!)
great video as always! while i dont find the "race to the bottom" that we've been seeing in custom boards to be my favorite, i still think that it sours any intrigue i might have had for this board knowing the price. the layout is somewhat unique, and the design is nice and thought out, but the internals and construction of the board reminds me of a prebuilt keyboard, just built with cnc'd aluminum. especially not too thrilled about glued on PE foam, where custom keyboards are about just that- being *custom*, and not being stuck to one way to build it in terms of configs.
I need a 10-key pad on my keyboards. Its a necessity for me and my work, and as such its usefulness has found its way into my gameplay styles and non-work workflows as well. It sucks that all the innovation in keyboards these days is around 10-key-less designs.
I think the price point is fine and the machining looks great. The colorway you showed is wayyy too busy for me though and I'm sad there's not a black / anthracite / navy version but only this one and a bunch of baby pastel colors. Maybe in the next revision.
Like you as soon as I saw it I thought, modular. How cool. What a shame it's not though. It would have been a great selling point for me, especially as the sound of the keys is really nice and I like the key mapping software. But the price, lack of the modularity and thickness drops it off my buy list. I hope they listen to your review. Lot's of good points that if they can implement would increase the value position of the keyboard.
Yeah it's a shame, that part would have been really cool especially since I wouldn't mind moving it to the left side 😅 But I also have grown to quite like it, it's a cool board. 🙂
Damn, your jokes driving me crazy. At least this keyboard have something to catch eye, something individual (with your color scheme). Waiting for Mojo68.
Such good videos, with unique style, as always. But this "new" hand-gesture act annoying :( Only the voice over is much better. Just my opinion :) Liked, subscribed, notified.
😅 Thank you so much, and also thanks for the feedback 🙂 I'm not a 100% on board with the hand gestures as well. As a little context, the idea of these "Cheesy Bytes" episodes was to make shorter, easier to produce videos. Speaking directly into the camera while showing off the board reduces the production time quite a bit. But it comes at the price of those annoying gestures 😅

😅 Thank you! glad somebody found entertainment in the Driver bits 🙈

"...internals and construction of the board reminds me of a prebuilt keyboard..."
Pretty much sums it up, well put 🙂

My new favorite channel. I'm sorry I didn't know of you sooner
Don't be! and thanks for watching! 🙂

Cool videos as always, thanks for always uploading 😁
My pleasure! 🙂
The color scheme reminds me of the original Gundam
I didn't see it but now that you mention it... could have themed the whole video after that 😅
Very nicely edited!
Thank you very much! 😅
Adam Driver!
What is that modular keyboard from last year that you showed here? Thank you!
That is the TENET, there are actually some in-stock extras left: clickclack.io/pages/metakey-tenet? 😉
Cool, I was thinking of that being separated but with the numpad.

im crying alot because this kb cant swap the arow to the left :(
Absolutely kills me that a southpaw TKL doesn't exist. How much longer until everyone else realizes the value?
